Operation
With the brake pedal and clutch pedal pressed,
from the time you release the brake pedal,
without using the parking brake, you have
approximately 2 seconds to move off before the
vehicle starts to roll back.
During the moving off phase, the function is
deactivated automatically, gradually releasing
the braking pressure. During this phase,
it is possible to perceive the typical noise
of mechanical brake release signalling the
imminent movement of the vehicle. Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held temporarily by hill start assist.
If you need to get out of the vehicle with
the engine running, apply the parking
brake manually then ensure that the
parking brake indicator lamp is on.
Hill start assist is deactivated in the following
situations:
-
w
hen the clutch pedal is released,
-
w
hen the parking brake is applied,
-
w
hen the engine is switched off,
-
i
f the engine stalls.
Malfunction
If a malfunction of the system
o ccurs, this warning lamp comes
on accompanied by an audible
signal and confirmed by a
message
in the screen. Have it checked by
a
CITROËN dealer or by a qualified
workshop.
Traffic sign recognition
This system is a driving aid that uses a camera
l ocated at the top of the windscreen.
The camera detects the following types of signs
and displays the corresponding information in
the instrument panel:
-
sp
eed limits,
-
n
o overtaking,
-
e
nd of the above-mentioned limits/
restrictions.
The system detects the signs on the left and on
the right, low-mounted and high-mounted, as
well as overlapping signs.
The system detects only round signs.

The maximum speed set in the factory
depends on the legislation in force in the
country of sale.
This maximum speed cannot be modified
by the driver.
If you want the maximum speed modified,
go to a CITROËN dealer.
Cruise control
In order for it to be programmed or activated,
the vehicle speed must be greater than 19 mph
(30
km/h) with 2nd gear or higher engaged.
1. Selecting the cruise control function.
2. Activation/deactivation of the function.

indicator in the rev counter and messages in
the instrument panel screen.

and drive momentarily at
a
speed faster than the
programmed speed.
When the accelerator pedal is released, the
vehicle will return to the programmed speed.

Malfunction
In the event of a fault, the system is
s witched off and the indicator goes
out.
Have it checked by a
CITROËN dealer or by
a
qualified workshop. Use the cruise control only when traffic
conditions allow you to travel at a
constant
speed for a
certain period of time whilst
keeping a
sufficiently safe distance from
other vehicles.
Do not activate the cruise control in urban
areas, in heavy traffic, on winding or steep
roads, on slippery or flooded roads, or in
conditions of poor visibility (heavy rain,
fog, falling snow, etc.).
In some circumstances, it may not
be possible to maintain or reach the
programmed speed: towing, vehicle
heavily loaded, steep climb, etc. The use of mats not approved by
CITROËN may impair the operation of the
cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:
-
e
nsure that the mat is positioned
c o r r e c t l y,
-
d
o not fit one mat on top of another.

The cruise control system is a driving aid
only. It does not exempt the driver from
keeping to speed limits or the need to
remain vigilant at all times.
In order for it to be programmed or activated,
the vehicle speed must be greater than 19
mph
(30

safety measure, you are advised to
keep your feet near the pedals at all times.

Lane Departure Warning
System
System which detects the involuntary crossing
of longitudinal traffic lane markings on the
ground (solid or broken line).
The lane departure warning system
cannot, in any circumstances, replace the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
A camera fitted at the top centre of the
windscreen monitors the road and detects lane
markings and the position of the vehicle with
respect to them.
With the vehicle running at a
speed higher than
37
mph (60 km/h), it triggers a warning if the
vehicle drifts off line.
This system is particularly useful on motor ways
and main roads.

Driving
106
If the windscreen is damaged, it is strongly
recommended that you go to a CITROËN
dealer or a
qualified workshop for any
replacement and calibration of the camera.
Operation
The system starts automatically when moving
of f.
A check of the operating conditions
takes place: these two warning
lamps come on in the instrument
panel.
When these conditions are met, these two
indicator lamps go off. The system is activated.
If the operating conditions are not met, the
system is activated but is no longer effective.
This is signalled by the fixed illumination of
these two warning lamps in the instrument
panel.
Operating conditions
Once running, the system is only active when
the operating conditions are met:
-
T
he vehicle is moving for wards.
-
N
o malfunction is detected in the vehicle.
Deactivation
F Press this button to switch off the system, the indicator lamp in the button comes on.
The system state remains in memory when the
ignition is switched off.
Reactivation
F Press this button to switch the system on, the indicator lamp in the button goes off.
The two warning lamps in the instrument panel
remain on up to 37
mph (60 km/h).
Detection
If an unexpected change of direction is
detected, you are alerted by this warning lamp
in the instrument panel and an audible signal:-
f
lashing of the left-hand warning
lamp, if drifting to the left,
-
f
lashing of the right-hand
warning lamp, if drifting to the
right.
-
T
he vehicle is moving at a
speed of at least
37
mph (60
km/h).
-
T
he longitudinal traffic lane markings on the
ground can be seen properly.
-
V
isibility conditions are normal.
-
T
he vehicle is travelling in a
straight line (or
any bends are of large radius).
-
T
he field of vision is sufficiently clear (the
safe distance from the vehicle in front is
observed).
-
I
f a
lane marking is crossed (when changing
lane for example), the corresponding
direction indicator (left or right) for the
manoeuvre is not used.
-
T
he vehicle's trajectory matches the traffic
lane markings.
No warning is given while the direction indicator
is active and for approximately 20 seconds
after the direction indicator is switched off.
A warning may be given if a
direction marking
(arrow) or non-standard marking (graffiti) is
crossed.
